I drive a 2006 Wrx Wagon in Maryland, home of way too many SUVs, where people buy them because they want to feel king of the road. LOL. I will say this though, there are a ton of Subarus WRX and STIs in my area, but very few Subaru wagons. I bought mine honest to God this is the reason, I was looking at something…

As someone who drives a 2006 Wrx wagon, I would never ever even think about driving summer tires in the snow let alone below 60 degrees. I know people with WRX and STIs that do, and I hate them for it LOL. I think it is the worst thing you can do. I try and tell them but normal response goes something like "They have…

Wow. Sorry for their loss.

LOL Says mine ( 2006 Wrx Wagon, manual ) gets 17 city and 24 highway 20 combined. When I was breaking in my clutch I got 22 in the city, Rush hour traffic every day, lots of red lights too, Granted I didn't hit boost at all for 500 miles and all. I've also seen 32 mpg on the highway doing the "speed limit" of 55. I…

Find your region and or multiple ones close.

This is very much fun. I have about 3 SCCA regions close to my house. By close I mean under 3 hours driving. If I had more money I would attend almost all of them. One is about an hour away, and the one for my region is about 2 hours away. Rallyx is really the most fun I've had in my car. I spend more time going…

While I don't disagree with you at all, Finding a used Evo in good condition is hard enough. Now try to find a Used Evo in good condition under 20k without mods is pretty hard. At least around here. Now I did forget to mention the Evo and how well the AWD system does. You also can't get them new for anywhere close to…

As someone who has an AWD ( 2006 Subaru WRX wagon ) and has driven it in 1-2 feet of snow with just all season tires & snow tires, I have never had a problem, with the all seasons. I could feel when the car was slipping and just throttle back. Normally I'm the only one that can still do the speed limit on the road…

LOL! I'm going to take a stab at it and say it was ..... electrical issues?

Since you said "new & max price of 20k" ,That is very limiting. I'm not a fan of brand new cars myself, after all you're only taking a loss for a while. I would prefer to buy a fully loaded used Impreza / Wrx. for the price of a new base model for 20k. In my opinion you should only buy new if you are buying fully…

There is a guy in the SCCA PA Susquehanna Region Rallyx who last time I was there had a Dodge Dakota RWD only And was drifting the whole course. It was awesome. He would hit cones but magically they would get knocked back up and or stay in place. He had great control too, His pickup truck barely fit through some of…

I'm not a big fan of buying modified cars. I myself have an 06 wrx wagon I bought with 86,000 miles, the car was stock when i bought it. I did the 90k & 105k & more, the car has never run better and felt better. No leaking oil or anything. I also replaced a bunch of stuff, Turboback and a pro-tune. 105k miles and car…

I've been really interested in this car ever since I heard about it. I currently drive a 06 Wrx Wagon, and feel the AMG version would be an incredible upgrade. The price is a little high for me, but I love hatchbacks & wagons, and it looks like it would be a ton of fun for a daily, grocery getter and weekend autox.…

Hi Ashley, Welcome! Thanks for joining us. I'm 22 year old wanna be race car driver, I currently do Rallyx and autocross in my daily driver. Big car enthusiast, Subaru lover, and nerd. Normally when I'm racing, ( it's my first season ), I stick to the couple of the following rules 1. "If in Doubt, Flat out" 2. Moar…
